Sensacional!
Sensacional de Diseño Mexicano
May 28–August 24, 2004
Welcome to a larger-than-life version of “Sensacional! Mexican
Street Graphics.” This exhibit celebrates the art and designs that
appear across Mexico. It compiles murals, flyers, products,
paintings and posters that capture the essence, flavor, color and
emotion in daily life in this country.
These anonymous artists, many of whom lack technical training,
produce their work in one shot, without preliminary sketches or
planning. Sometimes the results are ugly, sometimes they are
hilarious, charming, or beautiful. This spontaneity creates a
visual richness that is a delight for the eyes.
This exhibition is organized by Juan Carlos Mena, Oscar Reyes
and Déborah Holtz of Trilce Ediciones México, presented in
cooperation with the Consulate General of Mexico in New York.
